May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
OMG! He is SUCH a bitch!!!! Lol OMG – Jim Kerr, I love you! (except for when you’re this bitchy to me…and even then, I quickly forgive you!) When I saw this person’s comment yesterday (identity protected) I thought “Ooh, Jim is SSSOOO going to bite on this one!” and then forgot to check back….
He mentioned very recently about suffering nerves…which is odd because in interviews I’ve seen from the time he says he’s NOT nervous onstage…maybe it was only ever beforehand? Or an act of denial, defiance and bravado to say such things in those interviews? Maybe just…the build up to going out onstage got the better of…
The story about the kabuki screen is hilarious! And what he says about Jim is lovely :-))
You most beautiful, beautiful man! I adore you…with every fibre of my being. (I don’t care of that’s an overshare!)
Jim’s words within his post today (upon seeing Radiohead last night in Glasgow). Ah, well…that’s me out the window, then! To surround yourself with people and things that inspire? How would I ever fit that bill? I won’t. I am so full of self-doubt, I’m amazed he even gives me the time of day in…
Tonight I did something I don’t usually do and I went for a walk listening to music. A few months back, Jim was mentioning listening to music when out walking. I replied to him saying that I couldn’t really do that, that I like to take the sounds of life in when I’m walking. That…
Yeah, think I’m pretty much wanting to get the “redos” out the way first, before moving on to wholly new ones. I’m unsure about this one. I started with the concept of a triptych of Jims (ie: new/gold/dream = Jim/Jim/Jim)…but…I dunno. I struggle to get yellows/golds as I want them to be. I’ll sit with…
And this is where all the visual memories and mementos of my Acoustic “gig hop” Tour come to rest. What an amazing three weeks it was! Nine Simple Minds gigs in 21 days! I may never get to repeat it…but I hope I do. I get the feeling the 40th anniversary is going to be…

More extras from Dublin – penultimate set of photos… I saw and felt quite a few similarities between Dublin and Sydney…it was the last thing I expected, actually. The day of gig No. 2. Selfie attempt number one – not bad (could do without the “orange peel” right arm). I SSSOOO wanted an Acoustic shirt…
From the visit to Trinity College and the Book of Kells… Book of Kells guide leaflet with poem of Pangur Bán inside. The wording of Pangur Bán reminded me so much of Jim. Esp. the “Hunting words I sit all night” – the anecdote he tells (or has been told of him) of sitting in…
